Street Tree Maintenance

Hobsons Bay City Council has approximately 45,000 street trees under its care. All street trees are inspected on a two-year cycle with any required works carried out following the inspections. The works include electric line clearance, pruning over footpaths and roadways to provide adequate clearances, formative pruning, and removals.

The municipality is divided into 12 maintenance zones, with each zone assessed and worked on during the two-year period. A map of the maintenance zones is included below.
